About me

I am Vítek Korinek, a certified personal trainer, mobility specialist and nutrition advisor in Berlin. How I train people has a lot to do with where I come from. Here I tell you where that started and what matters to me now.

My journey

Born and raised in Ostrava in the Czech Republic, I found my passion for ballet and contemporary dance at the conservatory. I performed in theatres across the Czech Republic and Germany, taught children and adults, choreographed, and even helped a gymnast prepare for the 2012 London Olympics.

Years of intense training also brought injuries, among them a slipped disc, knee and back pain and a dislocated shoulder. That is when fitness became my way to heal, to rebuild strength, to regain trust in my body and to prevent the next injury. Feeling the pressure to have a perfect body myself showed me how quickly that leads to unhealthy habits. Those experiences are what made me become a personal trainer and nutrition advisor. Alongside that I trained as a PPSC Mobility and Joint Health Coach, because healthy joints and a free range of motion are exactly what I was missing back then.

My vision

This path taught me how much balance matters: knowing when to push, when to rest, and how to listen to your own body. My aim is to help others toward a healthy, balanced way of living by bringing together what I learned from dance, training and nutrition.

Over time I developed my own approach, built on strength, balance and simplicity. Training should improve your body, your mind and how you feel in general, without extremes. I believe in smart, effective sessions, habits you can keep, and a place where everyone moves forward at their own pace.

Today that philosophy shapes everything I do. It decides how I train people and how I coach nutrition, and it helps me guide my clients toward healthy results that last.

For Berlin's dance community

Having started out as a dancer myself, I know how demanding the profession is, in the body and in the mind. To give something back to the community that shaped me, I support the dancers of this city.

My goal is to help dancers build strong, healthy bodies that can carry their art for many years to come.
